2010-06-04serial: altera_uart: Proper section for altera_uart_removeTobias Klauser
altera_uart_remove should be in .devexit.text Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-06-04altera_uart: Simplify altera_uart_console_putcTobias Klauser
The check for the TRDY flag after writing the character is not needed. Also do a cpu_relax() inside the loop. Pass a struct uart_port to altera_uart_console_putc, so we do not need to get it (and dereference pointers) for every character.

2010-06-04altera_uart: Don't take spinlock in already protected functionsTobias Klauser
Don't take the port spinlock in uart functions where the serial core already takes care of locking/unlocking them. The code would actually lock up on architectures where spinlocks are implemented (not the case on nios2 where this driver is primarily used for now, thus this bug didn't trigger). Also protect calling altera_uart_rx_chars/altera_uart_tx_chars in the interrupt handler by the port spinlock. Thanks to Ian Abbott for pointing these issues out.

2010-05-21serial: Add driver for the Altera UARTTobias Klauser
Add an UART driver for the UART component available as a SOPC (System on Programmable Chip) component for Altera FPGAs. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
